Anthrax said:I would try
caffeine is caffeine, whatever the source
Thats like saying the Ephedra alkaloids from Ma Huang are equal to synthetic Ephedrine HCL or Ephedrine Sulfate...no way.
Synthetic products offer the same release EVERY time. Herbs can be processed differently by different people. Every plant can be different.
This similar to the reason why the govt's infamous "1 joint = 3 cigarettes" commercial is flawed, no 2 marijuana plants will be the EXACT same while cigarettes are processed to have a certain amount of tar & nicotine in every cigarette. In addition, the avg. MJ smoker does not smoke nearly as many joints as a cig. smoker smokes cigs. There are people who smoke 20-40 cigs a day every day. Plus, MJ smokers can use a water bong/pipe to remove tar & carcinogens Anyway, I'm rambling b/c I'm getting high.
Stick with the synthetic caffeine brotha.
